Subject: [Announcements] Join the Bombay IMC!
Dear Friends:
As part of its continuing interactions with Mumbai college students
in mass media, arts and commerce courses across the metropolitan
region, PUKAR, along with the Comet Media Foundation and other NGOs,
is facilitating the creation of an Independent Media Centre (IMC) in
Mumbai.
"IndyMedia" has emerged globally as a non-hierarchical,
non-commercial platform for the production and circulation of
alternative news, opinions, and documentation. It is a medium created
and maintained by local, grass-roots networks of activists, students,
media practitioners and journalists organised around Independent
Media Centres (IMCs) all over the world. It is completely open and
inclusive of all opinions, providing a space for open publishing,
information sharing, networking around local issues, events and
protests. IMCs work towards open, democratic, and non-corporate news
and opinion. There are more than fifty IMCs on every continent,
managed autonomously with their own mission statements, resource
bases, and decision-making processes. For more information, visit
http://www.indymedia.org and the existing India site at
http://www.india.indymedia.org/.
The Bombay IMC works as a decentralised network of media producers
and analysts: students, professionals, scholars and sympathisers.
Pending our registration with the global Independent Media Centre
network, we have a web-site up at
http://mumbaidada.bandwidthcoop.org/. This site, like our network, is
completely open. You can publish your news, opinions, photos, videos,
creative expressions. You can freely make your own media and network
with others who do so. The Bombay IMC, and the network of "IndyMedia"
supporters is not be headed by any person, organisation, or
corporation, but will work as a loose and open collective, sharing
information and turning ideas into action.
To join the discussions within the Bombay IMC, go to
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/listinfo/imc-mumbai and enter your
name and password. To see our previous discussions, which are open
and public, go to
http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/imc-mumbai/. We are using
this list to coordinate and network in our effort to spread the
message of IndyMedia in Bombay, discuss ideas for reporting and
documentation, and talk about organisational issues for the IMC.
The Bombay IMC's open meetings occur twice a month in Bombay: on the
second Saturday every month at 3.30 p.m. at the Comet Media
Foundation at Lamington Road, and on the fourth Friday every month at
5.30 p.m. at PUKAR near VT Station. For more information, contact
PUKAR at 2077779 or Comet Media Foundation at 3869052. Or e-mail
